How would you describe yourself as a gamer?

I'm a single or CO-OP player/gamer. I like playing on the same team with close friends, though co-op games are pretty scarce for the PC + most of my friends are pretty busy with their jobs nowadays anyway so guess I'll be gaming mostly on my own for the time being. By CO-OP I mean storyline driven games for 2 or more players, not multiplayer online games. I don't own any other gaming rigs besides a PC and I don't wish for one either because I prefer a keyboard and a mouse rather than using a gamepad (with no offense to console owners). I like action games with good story lines or action role playing games such as the latest Mass Effect game for example. I don't play every game that comes out. I only play the games that appear good to me based on reviews, articles, trailers, you name it. I hate MMORPGs, but I understand why many of my friends lov'em... MMOs are great time killers and provide lots of content. Give me something with bullet time, big bosses, crazy explosions, dramatic cutscenes, car chases, the fate of human kind, nice characters & good character development, et cetera, and I'm a happy guy 
. I hate strategy games in which you control characters with your mouse. I love TPS, FPS, RPFPS, RPTPS, sandbox titles like GTA, Mafia, platformers like Prince of Persia. I love sword games, but I hate roleplaying games such as Gothic, Oblivion, Witcher... etc. Sorry for using the word "hate", but that's basicaly who I am... "a love it or hate it kinda guy. I don't see gray, I only see black & white."

I used to be big on multiplayer but now I reserve that for party games and having friends over. Something about facing the same inconsiderate dirt bag over and over in a lag-spiked environment doesn't feel fun anymore.
I also used to be big on console games. But I've come full circle. I was old-school PC, then console, and now I'm back into the PC.

An "experience-seeking" gamer. I like looking for games that employ tricks and design ideas to do something really really well.
Of course, I can just be happy playing a "Lets kill time!" game every so often, not everything has to be amazingly crafted to have at least SOME entertainment.

I'm a smörgåsborder. I like dabbling in all kinds of genres on all kinds of systems, from handhelds to consoles to pc. Casual games, hardcore or retro, it's all good.
Mostly single player. I've only very occasionally tried MP, but my preference is definitely single player.
I'm also someone who plays a ton of different games, finishing very few of them, as opposed to focusing on one game until it's done.

A gamer who loves a good story and pisses off others because I want to watch the cut scenes in Halo (whilst in multiplayer). I like FPS but HATE cod (except nazi zombies). My fav type of game is a RPG especially the Fable series (pre-ordered Fable III LCE ). I'm ok online but not the best. I only play online with at least one friend for fear of critisism

I'll play almost any game of any genre, but I lose interest when I've figured out the game, it's mechanics and winning strategies.
Many games I won't finish and I never go for 100% completion. I stop when I'm decent at the game, but well before I master it.
I've got a big collection of games and this is the only way I can sample them all.

Mostly a single player console gamer, prefers RPGs but enjoys the occasional outburst of online MW2 just for 'lulz'.
I prefer single-player. Immersion and story are important, I'm better at strategy than reflex.
Old school Nintendo and RPGs are the way to go.

I'm the sort of gamer that plays anything just to experience it. Really, I'll play whatever people throw at me, if I can anyway.
I also enjoy the technical aspects of games, the engines they use, and the new ideas that all games come with. (Most games need a new idea to even be considered by a company) I prefer the gaming motto of "Even bad games have good ideas" and I try to live up tot that by playing everything and understanding their merits.
